SCRIPTURE FOR THE WEEK:
Isa 43:1-2
But now, this is what the LORD says — he who created you, O Jacob, he
who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
NIV
How
do you respond to the truth of God's Word:
You are driving down the highway when you encounter a sign that reads, "Dangerous Curve Ahead." Immediately
you are confronted with making a choice. One, you can observe the warning and slow down. Two, you can ignore the warning
and maintain your rate of speed. Or, three, you can defy the warning and speed up. Whatever response you exercise,
you will not change the truth of the sign. The curve remains dangerous, regardless of whether you acknowledge the fact
or not.
